STATE OF NORTH CAROLINA
RALEIGH -g J
A Proclamation by the OoTtrnar
(leneral -Assembly of ninteen kittdred ?4 W*>
?mended thi insurance laws of North Carolina, and, smony
othur things, enacted: ~E
? "It shall be the duty of the Insurance _C?i?iniiBloner
and Superintendent of Public Instruction to provide
as far as practicable for the teaching of 'Fire Pre
vention ' in the colleges and schools of the State, and,
if the way be open, to arrange for a text-book adapted
to such use. Also by adding to said section as section
four thousand seven hundred and twenty-one (b) the
following: "The ninth day of October of each and
every year shall be set aside and designated as Fire
Prevention Day, aud the Governor shall issue a procla
mation urging the people to a proper observance of
the said day, and its observance to the attention of the
officials of the municipalities of the 8tate, and
especially to the firemen, and, where possible, arrange
suitable programs to be followed In ita observance.' "
Now, Therefore, I, LOCKE CRAIG, Governor of North
Carolina, in accordance with this statute, do issne this my
PROCLAMATION', and I do set aside and designate
Monday, the 9th day of October, 1916, u
Fire Prevention Day
and do urge all the people to a proper observance of this day
in obedience to the law of North Carolina. I urge the public
schools of the State and the municipal officers thereof to give
proper and formal recognition of the day and its meaning, and
request the citizens generally to give special attention on that
day to the condition of their premises, to the end that the waste
and loss of property and life by fire may be reduced in this
State.
The loss by fire amounts appro mixately to three million
dollars a year in North Carolina. A large per cent of this loss
is oiknecessary and can he prevented. Human life, too, is
needlessly sacrificed.
"We should remedy the conditions that entail this enormous
expense and loss suffered, not only by those whose property
and lives arc destroyed, hut by all citizens in the high rates of
insurance caused by unnecessary fires. The prevention of the
nctnllcss destruction of the fruits of our labor and of human
life is a duty dictated by economy and humanity.

sixteenth day of September, in the year of
our Lord one thousand nine hundred and

ABOUT U-BOAT ACTIVITIES
Washington, Oct. 9. ? Count von
Bernstorff. the German ambassador,
made the positive declaration today
? hat the subantrine U-53 brouKht no
peace message from Emperor Wil
liam. Of the submarine's real mis
sion In entering American waters at
Newport Saturday afternoon and slip
ping out mysteriously after a three
hour stay, the German ambassador Is
wholly unadvised.
The mysterious letter which Cap
tain Rose of the U-53 gave to the
correspondent to mail to Cour.t von
Be'iistorfT. had not arrived at the
German embassy at noon today.
MBut you may rest assured of one
thing." the ambasnador said. "The
letter from the submarine captain
contained no peace message and no .
communication of any character from
my government.
"If there had been such a com- j
municatlon. It would have been
brought to the embassy by one of the '
submarine officers, or the suhmarlno-j
officers, or the submarine captain '
would have advised the embassy by 1
telegraph of his arrival, and an at- j
taehe of the embassy would have I
gone to Newport to receive the com
munication." |T
I'ount t on Bernstorff displayed lit
tle Interest In the content* of the
letter which press dispatches had ad
vised him was oil Che way from New
port.
"I ran tell yo^ now what Infor
mation the letter'' will contain," the
ambBfl.narlor said/ "It will "merely
report the arrival of Captain Rose at
Newport and hla contemplated de
parture. and state that he la under
admiralty* prderp^ on hla present
cruise."
It was the customary thing for a
German war vessel arriving at a for
eign port to inform the diplomatic
representative of /hi# government of
the fart. But being under admiralty
orders, the offlc.e'r^pf the war vessel
is under no obligations to and Is not
arruatomt?d to -make a report of his
mission 'n diplomatic official*.
Count von Bernstorff said He had
received no Intimation In dlspatchnB

At a special meeting of the con
gretation of the First Christian,
church last night Rev. Chaa. M. Mc
Entyre waa called for another year,
Not a dissenting vote was cast, which
provea him to be a man well beloved
by hla congregation.
Mr. McEntyre waa called to thl
rhurch January lat of this year am.
hla time, will not be ottt until Feb
ruimry 1. 1917. The call extended to
blra Hat night goes farther; to prore
the hfgh esteem In wblcb he la held
by Mil people.
We kre Informed tV it t!\e work
has been progreaalng excellently un

off all outatandlng obligations, a
goodly number have been added to
the memberahip. The church la now
In flne condition to go forward.
Mra. McEntyre la a line singer and
choir leader, and la a great help l?
the work. It la rarely the case that|
a church la so fortunate as to get a
"team" so well equipped.
We predict that In the near future
we will aee aomething like a great
| new church started by this congre
gation and with a strong man like
I their pastor, with a clear page on the
(debit side of their ledger, and the
I progressive aplrit in the congrega
tion, they can build a church, auch aa

Wadding "FanS.M
There are some people who attend
weddings with Juat as much enthu
siasm as a baseball or tennis fan,
whether they are Invited or not, and
seeminglyr enjoy the excitement of the
moment and the attendant fusH and
feathers. There aro aaid to be funeral
fans, too; people who attend funerals
merely out of morbid curiosity. Of
course, the wedding fans are most iti
evidence at the big town weddings,
which mark the alliance between two
prominent and wealthy families, or the
marriage of an American heiress to a
pcnniles duke. They are mostly wom
en. and they attend regularly all of
the famart weddings. If they canuot
edge their way past the sexton who
takes the invitation cards, they con
gregate around the street awning, und
are frequently of such number as to
Interfere with the street pedestrians.
The wedding fan, in fact, hae become
a highly objectionable foature at all
of the large clinrches in the social
zone, especially on Fifth avenue, and

served In order to keep them out of
